Pros

As a college student, the best reason to begin a practice as a financial representative with NMFM would be the unlimited possibilities and amount of knowledge and hands-on personal training that you have made available to you. You are given the keys needed to suceed in this company and are provided with a full support staff dedicated to your growth so you are not left alone. There are financial stipends available to you as student to help you survive as you build your commision, too!

Cons

Commission is the up and downside. While the amount of money that you can make is endless, it is also difficult to build. Typically, within your first few years, you may have to have a part time job alongside this career just to have a steady flow of income coming in. Thre are different financial incintives made available to you depending on the type of contract you are in but comission is still COMMISSION and not reliable.
